THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

Vincent Van Gogh was born in Brabandt in

the Netherlands in 1853. As a young man he
worked as an art dealer in London and Paris. He
was fired from this job because he had argued
with customers about art.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

In l881 he tried to commit suicide. He was

depressed because he had fallen in love with his
cousin, but she had rejected him.

In l886 he went to Paris to study art, and it was

while
he was studying that he met Degas, Monet and
Renoir.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

After two years in Paris, Van Gogh went to live

in Arles in the south of France. His friend
and fellow painter, Gauguin, who he had met in
Paris, came to join him. The two men settled
down in Arles, but there was a lot of tension
between them. They used to quarrel fiercely,
mainly about the nature of art.

OWN LIFETIME

One evening in December l888, Van Gogh

left the house carrying a razor blade. He’d
been arguing Gauguin again and was very
distressed. He cut off part of his ear.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

After this, he moved voluntarily into an asylum

for the insane at St-Rémy-Provence. He used to
wake up at six in the morning and go out to
paint. It was here, in the last two years of his
life, that many of his
most famous paintings were completed. These
included Starry Night, Irises, and Self
Portrait Without a Beard.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN
LIFETIME

In 1890 he left the warm south and moved to

Auvers-sur-Oise. Here he continued working
despite his growing depression. It was while he
was painting outside that Vincent shot himself in
the chest. Two days later, he died. He was buried
in the cemetery in Auvers.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

When Van Gogh died, he had no money because

he'd only sold one of his paintings, The Red
Vineyard, in his entire life. His sister -in-law took
his collection to Holland, where his work was
published. He was instantly recognized as a
genius .
